 Zelda Dungeon released Layout version 4.0 on May 3rd, 2003. The site layout was pulled from a website that distributed Free website designs. It kept a simplistic look to the site, with a standard two-column setup. The website brought on board a volunteer by the username Cartoons, who would quickly become a Webmaster of the website and one of the most active team members in the sites early years. The consistent work of Mases and Cartoons caused the site to blossom, reaching 500 unique visitors per day, with it peaking at 1,000 visitors in a single day, just days before the sites second birthday. Zelda Dungeon began to partner with affiliate websites, linking to other websites forums, which was the first instance of pointing its users towards a forum community.

-Layout 5.0 was released on November 25th, 2003. The layout was created by Avenged, who at the time, was the Webmaster of an affiliate website, Zelda Chronicles. The website marked the return of the green color scheme that was seen in Layout 1.0. The layout was filled with dozens of variations of the color green, and this could be seen with a quick glance of the index page. There were very few images within the layout, and this allowed the green to really stand out and the page to load rather quickly.

+Layout 5.0 was released on November 25th, 2003. Site viewership continued to grow, however server trouble began to plague the website again. The site was regularly going offline at the end of each month due to bandwidth limitations, causing growth of the website to stunt.
-It was also during this time period of this layout, Zelda Dungeon was able to affiliate with ZeldaPower, one of the biggest inspirations for Mases throughout the creation and growth of Zelda Dungeon.
-Towards the end of this layouts lifespan, a stunt to the growth of Zelda Dungeon occurred once again because of hosting problems. Acidmist had been a great website for free hosting and a free domain name, but the big downfall was the poor technical support that was offered, and the reluctance of them to comply with the needs of their clients. In this case, Zelda Dungeon had outgrown the hosting package that acidmist offered, and towards the end of each month, the site was reaching its bandwidth limits and the site was coming offline.
-This time period did see the hiring of Metalmallow, a new staff member that was brought on board to help the graphics field. Metalmallow created dozens of messenger icons, wallpaper images, avatars, and more. In addition to his graphics expertise, Metalmallow spent a lot of his time working on behind the scenes projects and would become an important member of the team in the coming years.
